Thanks Doreen,

I had come across that article too, and had wondered why it works.

I eat a low carb dessert almost every second day, or too many macadamias and have been maintaining at a steady 170 lbs. for 9 months. Coffee for me is almost a dessert too--I drink it very sweet and creamy. I know that the dairy and artificial sweeteners in the L-C dessert and coffee has been the culprit but did not want to own up to it.

Anyway, I think I will have to summon up my reserve of sheer willpower. I did it before and can do it again...

At least I know in advance what level I can tolerate for maintenance!

Karen, who instead of Prozac, should not work in restaurants where all the carbs live!
